Reviews

Gr 4–6—In this final installment (Scholastic, 2013) of the "Floors" trilogy, Leo and Remi find themselves wrapped up in their craziest Merganzer D. Whippet adventure yet. After flying on an airship to the Field of Wacky Inventions, they face off against each of Merganzer's other hotel managers. The prize? The opportunity to run all of the hotels in the Whippet Empire. Leo and Remi want to be the last ones standing, but first they must unlock the secrets of a hotel floor filled with tiny dinosaurs and make their way through a sinister amusement park-themed floor. Narrator Jesse Bernstein does a phenomenal job of bringing this magical story to life. He reads each character with a different voice, and his pacing is excellent. His experience narrating the previous two titles in this series means he has each character's unique quirks pegged, and their personalities comes across quite clearly. Although the books in this series are best read in order, both girls and boys will get caught up in the twists and turns of this wacky, fast-paced final installment.—Anne Bozievich, Friendship Elementary School, Glen Rock, PA
